Paweł Pawlikowski’s ‘Fatherland’ to Open the 32nd Sarajevo Film Festival Paweł Pawlikowski's latest film, "Fatherland," is a poignant exploration of a bygone era that still resonates deeply in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The movie's narrative, centered on the complex relationship between Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika during a tumultuous summer in 1949, serves as a powerful reminder of the lingering shadows of history.
The film's setting – a divided Germany fresh from the devastation of World War II – is a microcosm for the broader global landscape.
